This is really incredible.
H-S Precision is sells hunting and tactical rifles. Here is a scan from the back cover of their Catalog. Note who did the write-up (circled in yellow):
For the three of you who don't know who Lon Horiuchi is, he's the FBI sniper of Ruby Ridge infamy who murdered Vicki Weaver in cold blood while she was holding her baby.
I'm not sure what H-S was thinking when they decided to hire this despicable thug as a spokesperson, but they are in dire need of remedial correction for this deplorable business decision. No gun decent gun owner/buyer should give them a single dime of their business. For those wishing to contact them, here's the info:

It is my understanding your company has hired Lon Horiuchi as a spokesperson for your company.
Please confirm if your company is going to add Gas Chambers endorsed by Adolph Hilter to your product lines.
Like one other poster said earlier...that vile SOB represents all that is bad in modern law enforcement. This, on the heels of the President of Cooper Rifles endorsing Obama, doesn’t do much to help my paranoia these days. I’ll have no part of any HS Prescision’s products, and I’ll forward that article to every shooter I know.
The Leon Czolgosz engraved commemorative Iver-Johnson .32 revolver is coming out in 2009!
I think I knew that monster when I was at Camp Howze, Korea in ‘80-’81. If it’s the same guy, I not only believe he’d intentionally shoot a woman holding a baby, I believe he’d LIKE it.
!!!Danger Parody Warning!!!
In related news, David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz has signed a lucrative endorsement deal with Charter Arms, while DC gunman John Muhammed will represent Bushmaster.
In a move some have compared to car company commercials featuring dead performers, gunmakers Mauser and Remington are set to introduce commercials for their products featuring deceased SS officer Aamon “Schindler’s List” Goethe and the deceased assassin of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, Byron de la Beckwith respectively. Through the miracle of CGI, the two will be seen shooting concentration camp inmates and Medgar Evers with the companys’ current products.
Gun makers Anschutz and Weatherby are said to be in a bidding war for the likeness of James Earl Ray, assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
H-S really has stepped in it for sure.
Wrong. The Weaver boy was murdered by US Marshals.
L
Is their Marketing Director _Jim?
A murdering “sniper” as a spokesperson??? The anti-gunners will have a field day with that one. Pro-gunners already hate the SOB. Count me in as someone who will avoid H-S products.
This is no different than using Jack the Ripper to sell knives.
Un-freaking-believable!
I’ll never buy one of their products again (bought one about 1995 or so with a Rem 700).
He was born in 1954, so he would have been around 26 years old in 1980.
Also, he graduated West Point in 1976, so if he was in the military at the time you were in Korea, he would likely have been an Army officer, probably either a 1st lieutenant or Captain.
Neither the boy nor his dog where shot by Horiuchi. That was federal marshals. The FBI wasn't even on scene yet. Of course like Waco, Ruby Ridge was really a BATF op. At RR they lied to the Marshals service about Weaver, saying he was a dangerous bank robber. At Waco their "appropriations time"/Showtime raid went horribly wrong and then teh FBI was brought in.
Eric Holder, Obama's pick for Attorney General, was Jack Boot Janet, "Gas 'em and Burn 'em", Reno's deputy AG. Although not at the time of the Waco debacle.
BOHICA or BLOAT. You decide.
They were shot by Federal Marshals, who were "sneaking and peaking" around after the BATFers had lied to them about how "dangerous" the Weaver family was.
Okay, to be fair: Horiuchi didn't shoot the dog. At the initial contact between US Marshals going to serve their failure to appear warrant, the kid was out with the father and a friend of his .... AND the dog was with them. The dog sensed the presence of the intruders and started to give the alarm when he was shot thru the HIPS by an agent. Any idea how agonizing a bullet thru the hips is going to be for a pup? Somebody does that to my pups and I'm going to plug him thru both elbows and both kneecaps and let him compare. The kid saw the dog get hit and was shot in the back as he tried to flee to his dad. Yup, those lawmen were proud examples of those who wear the silver badge.
I wonder how the Texas Rangers from the good old days would react to our government today? One rogue government, one ranger?
Horiuchi and the other snipers arrived later when the siege was underway. Horiuchi also showed up at Waco as a technical advisor but it's unclear as to whether he squeezed any triggers there. BTW, Delta force was also at Waco, filling a similar role. Can anybody say posse commitatus?
Ruby Ridge was in August of 1992 , actually ON Bush's watch. Possibly part of the reason he wasn't reelected in November of that year. We got the 'Toon and Jackboot Janet, and Waco, instead.
If it’s the same Horiuchi, he was the Headquarters Commandant of Camp Howze, Korea. I once thanked him for getting heating oil to the BOQ (I woke one morning to find my BOQ room to be about 20deg because the oil tanks had not been filled). He looked at me like I was some sort of invertebrate life form. He was one of the coldest individuals I’ve ever met in my life.
Some, but most are fine with guns in the hands of government agents.
Me either!!
Well, Waco, like Somalia was planned by Jorge El Primero.
I despise the Bushes. I will almost be happy when this incompetent is OUT of the White House and media attention is focused on “The One”.
I wonder what the Bush worshipers on day in the life Jorje Bush with pictures will do in Jan. Start a day in the life of Barack Obama thread?
